    },
    {
      "question": "Why can't we see objects in a completely dark room?",
      "answer": "We can't see objects in a dark room because there is no light to reflect off the objects into our eyes."

"ProblemSolving": [
    {
      "question": "Describe how you can create a shadow of an object. What are the necessary components and how does the size of the shadow change depending on the distance between the object and the light source?",
      "answer": "To create a shadow, you need a source of light, an opaque object, and a screen. Place the opaque object in the path of light, and a shadow will form on the screen. The size of the shadow depends on the distance between the object and the light source. If the object is closer to the light source, the shadow will be larger. If the object is farther from the light source, the shadow will be smaller."
    },
    {
      "question": "How does a pinhole camera work, and why do we see an inverted image through it?",
      "answer": "A pinhole camera works by allowing light to pass through a tiny hole and project an image onto a screen inside the camera. Light from the top of the object passes through the pinhole and strikes the bottom of the screen, while light from the bottom of the object strikes the top of the screen, which results in the image being inverted. The smaller the hole, the sharper the image. The pinhole camera works because light travels in straight lines."
    },
    {
      "question": "How do mirrors help in seeing around corners using a periscope? Explain the principle behind it.",
      "answer": "A periscope uses two mirrors placed at 45-degree angles to reflect light from one point to another. When you look into a periscope, light from the object strikes the top mirror, which reflects it down to the second mirror, and then into your eyes. This allows you to see around corners or over obstacles. The principle behind it is the reflection of light, which changes the direction of the light rays without altering the image."
    },
    {
      "question": "Why does the color of an object not affect the color of its shadow? Explain with an example.",
      "answer": "The color of an object does not affect the color of its shadow because a shadow forms when an object blocks light, and not because of the light interacting with the object's color. Shadows are always black or dark because they are areas where light is blocked. For example, whether you hold a red apple or a green apple in front of a light source, the shadow will be the same color (black or dark), as it is the absence of light."
    },
    {
      "question": "Explain why light travels in a straight line and how this concept helps in the formation of shadows and reflections.",
      "answer": "Light travels in straight lines, a property known as rectilinear propagation. This straight-line movement is why shadows form when light is blocked by an opaque object. The light cannot bend around the object, so a shadow appears. Similarly, the concept of light traveling in straight lines helps explain how reflections work. When light hits a smooth surface like a mirror, it reflects off in a predictable direction. Both shadows and reflections depend on this principle of light traveling in straight lines."
